ugh fine, I'll just hand it to you.

gone home is an example of people DOING IT THEMSELVES. check your post history to see what you thought about a game like that having prominence and influence.

It was nice that Gone Home was more inclusive, but it absolutely did not deserve GOTY.  Just look at the Metacritic page.  It has an 86/100 score from reviewers and a 5.4/10 score from players.

By your own logic regarding videogames: Wouldn't you say the published journalists who have actually Made Reviews are authorities vs the unwashed masses who just leave comments?

It was nice that Gone Home was more inclusive, but it absolutely did not deserve GOTY.  Just look at the Metacritic page.  It has an 86/100 score from reviewers and a 5.4/10 score from players.

You're twisting what I said about being a game developer.  The first thing I said was "be the change you want to see, not a whiner", and then I explained how I was in fact not a hypocrite because I am getting my message to the game industry by making a game.  Then you interpreted it as me being elitist.

An indie dev has the potential to make just as much sway as a big-name dev.  But (for example) making condescending and poorly-supported videos about how games and gamers are sexist is just plain whining.

No, seriously, I'm not trying to attack you like that and hope you don't read it that way. I think you're wrong, but you being wrong doesn't make you dumb or elitist or whatever -- you are just promoting *ideas* that are elitist and inconsistent: I'm genuinely trying to change your perspective/convince you of something here. Emphasis on the part I bolded, and your support of gone home reviewers.

Making your own games the way you think they should be is something I can get behind. Wish you the best of luck with that!

the thing with reactionaries is they have no actual stance so theyll just throw around any talking point from some 4chan list no matter how contradictory. the point is "haha i gotcha why dont you make a game!!" not that he believes everyone should make a game expressing their views
